| "The Silent Hunter" by Graham Eaton |
In the darkest spaces of night
there flies a silent hunter
moving unnoticed between
the worlds, seeking the
mystic dreamers
beyond the veil of mystery
carrying spiritual messages
to the shamans who will listen
guardian of the night
seeing the road clearly
soaring past the shadowy
trees of winter's bareness
there lies a route to change
universal shift with the
stars and moon, use your
internal lantern to lead
the way forward in the
journey to tomorrow
see past the perceived
illusions of indistinctness
trust your intuition to fly
you into the deepest places
of your dreamwork

This is very mystical. I always think of owls as messengers and oracles..........a beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteI do as well, when one enters my life, I evaluate my current situation. Once one warned me about a betrayal of friendship.
DeleteThis is magical and wonderful Truedessa! If only the owl could truly fly beyond the veil of mystery carying spiritual messages!
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie. I do believe there are messages when encountering owls in the journey. Sometimes it feels other worldly. Thank you for all you do!

They are a mysterious bird. There is one in the woods near me ,occasionally , it makes itself known.
DeleteHow I love owls in the darkness of my morning walks ... they are such matriarchs of the night --
ReplyDeleteI agree, there is a wonderment about them. There is something special about early morning walks, a time of transition.
DeleteThis shifted as I read it, the hunter becoming guide becoming beacon.
ReplyDeleteThe mysterious ways of the owl and its ability to shift when need be.
DeleteAn entrancing poem, very well done.
